Aug 28 (Reuters) - The market value of Berkshire

Hathaway ( BRK/A ) surpassed $1 trillion on Wednesday, reflecting

investor confidence in the conglomerate that Warren Buffett

built over nearly six decades into what many consider a proxy

for the American economy.

Berkshire joined six other companies, mainly from the

technology sector, above $1 trillion: Apple ( AAPL ), Nvidia ( NVDA )

, Microsoft ( MSFT ), Google parent Alphabet,

Amazon.com ( AMZN ) and Facebook parent Meta Platforms ( META ).
